Deleting Songs, Videos, etc...

Aside from reformatting try opening the device as a seperate file in Windows and delete individual music files and folders. When you first install your device on your pc the option to open this folder or keep it closed automatically is presented to you. Most users turn this option off because it's easier at first to use the media player.

The Sansa M200 series devices do not allow deletion of downloaded content directly from the device. You must connect he device to PC/Mac via USB to delete downloaded content. You will also need to use media software such as Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, iTunes, etc.. to see all of the music content on the player to be able to delete the songs you don't want. (i.e. just viewing the device in Windows Explorer might not show everything that is on he player.)
